A nurse receives a client assignment and is to care for a client who has terminal lung cancer.

Which action should the nurse take? Ask the nurse in charge for permission to go home for personal reasons. Disclose the reason for the behavior to the client and family and have an open discussion. Speak to the nurse in charge about the emotional reaction and explore options. Report to another nurse, take a short break, and return to care for the client as assigned.
